Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: Houston moved to Los Angeles in 1952 and led The Rockets in the West Coast R&B club/session circuit.

  2. Media Narrative: He scored two Billboard R&B Top 10 singles in 1952 (“Worry, Worry, Worry” / “Hard Time Baby”), then worked mostly outside the pop spotlight.

  3. Personal Struggle: A stroke in 2006 stalled his career; he later returned to perform before health issues ended his run.
